  • Patent number: 9436164
    Abstract: Disclosed is a radio-controlled timepiece. The radio-controlled timepiece includes an oscillating unit, a display unit, a display driving unit, an error storage unit, a radio wave receiving unit, and a frequency setting unit. The display driving unit drives the display unit with a driving signal of a predetermined driving waveform frequency generated by the clock signal output by the oscillating unit. The error storage unit stores error data of an oscillating frequency. The radio wave receiving unit tunes to a receiving frequency of a radio wave including time information, and receives the radio wave. The frequency setting unit sets the driving waveform frequency based on the error data so that the receiving frequency does not overlap with a higher order harmonic wave of the driving waveform frequency during a period that the radio wave is received.

  • Patent number: 9431007
    Abstract: In a voice search device, a processor acquires a search word, converts the search word into a phoneme sequence, acquires, for each frame, an output probability of a feature quantity of a target voice signal being output from each phoneme included in the phoneme sequence, and executes relative calculation of the output probability acquired from each phoneme, based on an output probability acquired from another phoneme included in the phoneme sequence. In addition, the processor successively designates likelihood acquisition zones, acquires a likelihood indicating how likely a designated likelihood acquisition zone is a zone in which voice corresponding to the search word is spoken, and identifies from the target voice signal an estimated zone for which the voice corresponding to the search word is estimated to be spoken, based on the acquired likelihood.

  • Patent number: 9423775
    Abstract: A solar panel, above which a pointer mounted on a pointer shaft inserted in a through hole in a center portion of the solar panel moves, includes a plurality of solar cells arranged in a substantially circular shape, and these solar cells have been divisionally formed into a substantially spiral shape so that the pointer is positioned over two of the plurality of solar cells. Accordingly, the pointer can always be positioned over two of the plurality of solar cells, and therefore a decrease of light-receiving area due to the pointer can be distributed between the two solar cells. As a result, a decrease in the output current of the plurality of solar cells over which the pointer is positioned can be suppressed, and the output current of the entire plurality of solar cells can be improved.
